Dogwonder: Winter break! So I will be updating a lot this week!

Audry: Yeah!

Dogwonder: Probably. But things will get more intense from here so be prepared! Now let's jump in!

"We're lost Lucy-sama says." The clock said in her place.

"Yeah, gotta agree with that." I nodded.

"We're not lost." Natsu argued.

"Then are we flame brain?" Gray crossed his arms over his shirtless chest.

"We're in a cave."

"Really." Charla sighed.

"Natsu!" I groaned.

"What?"

Kettle shock her head in despair along with Happy.

"We may have took a wrong turn somewhere along the way." Ezra noted.

"Then should we backtrack or keep going forward Lucy-sama asks."

I got off Natsu's back and walked over to a cave entrance. I sniffed the air, but smelled nothing important.

"Can't really tell what's ahead." I told them.

"Why don't we punch our way through?" Natsu's fist lit on fire as he said that.

"Natsu nooooo Lucy-sama says."

But Natsu had already punched the cave's wall and it started to shake.

"What have you done Natsu?" Erza glared at him.

Natsu laughed awkwardly as rocks started to fall down.

"Move! Move! Move!" I shouted.

I dived away from an incoming rock and landed into a tunnel. The tunnels entrance then became blocked. I scrambled to my feet and rushed over to the entrance.

"Guys! Guys! Are you okay?! Answer me!" My shouting was only met with silence and I raised my fist.

"I wouldn't do that." A voice advised.

I turned around to see Gray on the ground.

"What do you mean?"

"If you think about you'll see its pretty simple."

"Just tell me." My frustration was growing.

Gray sighed. "The cave is already unstable so if you hit it again the result won't be good."

"Oh." I put my fist down. "So what should we do?"

Gray raised to his feet. "We should go ahead and see if we cross paths with everyone."

"Okay." I nodded.

Gray and I walked deeper into the tunnel while surrounded by an uncomfortable silence.

This is killing me!

"So... How are things?"

Stupid! Stupid! We are trapped in a cave!

"Fine."

"Cool."

Stupid! Stupid!

Again the awkward silence.

"Ugh!" I shouted. "The silence! It's killing me! Talk!"

After a moment Gray finally spoke. "I thought you didn't like me."
